Week of True Winter

This past week was the icon of winter in Alaska. Monday we started out at -40 which puts a heck of a chill in the air. Thursday I woke up to a foot of extra snow that accumulated over the night. Instead of running I went snow shoeing which was more of a workout. With all this powder, skiing, tubing, and/or snow machining may be on for the weekend. -B

Dog Sledding

BECK went on a dog sled ride through the Birch Hill woods. One of the "100 things to do in Alaska" we did not mind getting tugged behind some supper energetic pups through some nice winter scenery. It was a nice warm day at -5 and the snow seemed to pose on the trees for a photo. -BECK
